Yoga has been a way of life for me for many years but I can truly say that my experiences in swimming, biking and running and the experiences of racing and competition, leave me feeling very 'far from OM'... at times... ;)

Just Keep Swimming...

Apparently all that time I've been spending in the pool really IS paying off! Last night I was scheduled to swim 1800m (which struck a bit of fear into my heart, worrying that I would be able to get it in during the 75 minute public swim) but instead, I surprised myself and swam 2000m!

To date, this is my greatest swim distance - I couldn't be happier! It's double what I was swimming at Christmas! Woo Hoo!!

Which of course, leads to the following questions in my mind:

- I wonder if I can swim 2500m by June 2010?
- I wonder how far I'll be able to swim by Christmas 2010?

However, the above questions are still being trumped by the biggie: - I wonder if I'll be able to do this in OPEN water??!?

About Me

I was first exposed to yoga at the age of 4...
I've been teaching for over 12 years and it is my passion to pass this practice on to others.
I am grateful to have studied with some wonderful teachers, including Mark Whitwell, Shiva Rea, Judith Lasater and Paul Grilley.
When I'm not involved in yoga... I'm a triathlete (albeit an unlikely one!)
I'm not fast but I am stubborn and determined to finish whatever I start, so I get myself to the Finish Line no matter how long it takes! Remember the TORTOISE?
When I'm not swimming, biking, running or doing yoga, I have a passion for baking and decorating cakes and cookies and giving them away or selling them... I'm dying to go to pastry school!
I'm a professional photographer as well - and enjoy shooting sports, lifestyle portraits, pets and just about anything else - check out my website -- www.suesitkiphoto.com.
I want to run an ultra someday...
OH - and... I'm a CAT LADY :)
